| Hooking up additional amps You seem confused: :If I go with these or any other monos, I would have to actually have to get tri-wire to connect the speakers unless the amps have dual posts for bi-amping." Dual posts are for biwiring, not biamping.But, yes, you can use any an... | |
| Hooking up additional amps You can do what you describe but, as Rwwear has pointed out, you will need to encorporate some way to balance each amp to compensate for their different gain and for the difference in the Line 3's output levels between balanced and SE. You can eli... | |
| powering up pre-amp That should be fine. Note that these rules are only to prevent any turn on/off transients in the preamp from reaching your speakers. If the preamp has no such transients, then the procedure is only insurance.Kal | |
| Bi-wire options "sorry, i meant hooking single wires to bi-wire terminals"Oh.In that case, 3 won't work.1,2 and 4 will, so try 'em. Kal | |
| Bi-wire options Biwiring requires two sets of cables so I do not see how any of your described options apply. Kal | |
| Issue Multichannel SACD with 2 Channel Player Right you are. I was unaware of this unit and mistook it for a more modern one.Nonetheless, is it possible that the OP's problem discs lack a stereo DSD program track (even though he says they are all hybrid)? Do we know which ones these are?Kal | |
| Issue Multichannel SACD with 2 Channel Player What do you mean "2 channel only machines?" AFAIK, these are MCH machines. If you have them set up for 2 channel and these particular SACDs lack a stereo DSD track, they may not be able to do anything since there's no downsampling permitted.Kal | |
| Need help integrating my sub. Is an EQ the answer? I know the Revel system and it's pretty good. The Velodyne EQ is much more configurable and easier to use.Kal | |
| Need help integrating my sub. Is an EQ the answer? Acoustic treatments are almost always a better alternative, if you can afford them. As for purists, I wonder if they would have any valid objections to EQing the subwoofer. The Rives is nice but for lots less there's the Onix R-DES and the soon-to... | |

| Multichannel Preamp Well, I can only remember one point and that vaguely. It had to do with the tape monitor switch only handling 2 channels so that, when set on monitor with the input selector on the 6channel input, the other 4 channels leaked through. Also, only on... | |
| Multichannel Preamp Jeffreybehr wrote: "Absolutely wrong in spite of the 'information' published in a couple reviews. The Pre 5 is a 6-channel preamp conceived and built as such."That may be but it's hard to believe if you use it.Kal | |
| Equalization done right, experiences? I can vouch for both the Rives PARC and the z-systems RDP-1. The PARC is for low(ish) frequencies, cut-only while the RDP-1 is much more flexible. As for 'digital edge,' that's not the EQ's fault as long as you do not add unnecessary conversions. ... | |
